Adding Additional Default Headers to the WordPress Twenty Ten Theme

Functions.php

Open up the functions.php file of the Twenty Ten theme. Locate the following section:

Tables can't be imported directly. Please insert an image of your table which can be found here.

What follows is an array listing the current default headers and their location. To add your own, add a comma after the last parenthesis of the array of sunset header. Here’s an example of what it can look like after adding two more headers:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62

Lets dissect the code a little bit.

register_default_headers : This is the function that creates and displays our default headers. It accepts an array of parameters.

name: Sets a value with our headers name. We can then set an array of additional values and keys.

url: Relative path to the header image. Notice that the current path is /images/headers/image_name.jpg

thumbnail_url: Relative path to a thumbnail of the header image. Current path is /images/headers/image_name-thumbnail.jpg

description: A description of the image. This would be display upon hovering over the image inside the Headers Panel.

Things to Note

The Twenty Ten header is 940×198, anything bigger than that would be resized; anything smaller would be stretch to fit those dimensions. The thumbnail images can be set to any dimensions, 230×48 is the default. The images can only be .jpg or they will be ignored and won’t be displayed.
